A trailor for Shutter Island - a new movie directed by Martin Scorsese and starring cast members such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Max Von Sidow. Originally slated for an October 2009 release, it was held back for a new February 2010 release date.

There looks to be some excellent historical footage of locations set in Massachusetts in the upcoming film. Historical sites scouted for filming the epic include Medfield State Hospital, Whittenton Mills Complex and Peddocks Island to represent the cinematic Shutter Island.

Shutter Island is a film adaptation of the novel written by Dennis Lehane - author of Mystic River, which also became a film adaptation for the silver screen.

It is Leaves in the Attics hope that the site and its content will exist on the Internet a long time, long after we are gone. It will take many years to develop all we can about the stories of the abandoned in our societies.

Areas we hope to cover are abandoned places and their people, the undesirables of society, in prisons, asylums, orphanages and contagion hospitals.

Other stories may include ghost towns, whole nations or civilizations, and the stories of the abandoned who called these places home before war or tragedy and environmental devastation took over.
